Missing Makes Being Extremely Online Look Like a Survival Skill

Browser tabs, search histories, and one daughter who refuses to log off until she gets answers.

Watch Now

For years, we've been told to spend less time online. Missing, the 2023 mystery thriller starring Storm Reid and recently added to Tubi, would like to present a counterargument. When 18-year-old June's mom disappears while vacationing in Colombia with her new boyfriend, June is stuck thousands of miles away with one very powerful investigative tool: the internet.


Suddenly, the skills that normally help you find someone's Instagram from one blurry photo become considerably more useful. June searches accounts, tracks digital footprints, digs through messages, and follows one tiny clue into another as the story keeps changing underneath her. Missing turns everyday technology into a digital mystery, somehow making someone click through a laptop into edge-of-your-seat suspense, with enough twists to make you suspicious of approximately everyone with a profile picture.

The Cast

Storm Reid

Reid has to carry huge stretches of Missing while staring at a screen, and somehow makes every click feel urgent. Her June is smart, stubborn, and very believably 18, bouncing between frustration with her mom and absolute determination to find her once she realizes something is wrong. Reid keeps the mystery thriller's digital detective work grounded in something much simpler: underneath all those tabs is a terrified daughter who wants her mom home.

Nia Long

Long makes Grace feel familiar almost immediately: the mom who loves her daughter deeply and can also annoy her with approximately three words. Because so much of Grace is experienced through calls, messages, and June's memories, Long has to establish the mother-daughter relationship at the center of Missing quickly, and she does. The result is that when Grace disappears, she doesn't feel like a mystery-movie plot device. She feels like June's mom, which makes finding her matter.

Joaquim de Almeida

Almeida brings warmth and sincerity to Javi, the Colombian gig worker June hires remotely to help with the search for her missing mother on the ground. He quietly becomes one of the movie's secret weapons, balancing June's frantic online investigation with a human connection thousands of miles away. In a thriller built around questioning everyone, Javi makes you really, really want to trust someone.

“Open the laptop. The truth is already typing back.”
